Students Demand Action
About
We are young activists committed to ending gun violence. We are Students Demand Action. Students Demand Action started in 2016 as a pilot program and, with a sense of urgency, we launched it as a national initiative within two weeks of the Parkland shooting. Because what could be more urgent than fixing the errors in our system that have cost so many young people their lives? Students Demand Action now has more than 800 groups across the country and active volunteers in every state and D.C.
A note about Social Media: We encourage you to try and use social media platforms that are open sourced and decentralized (like BlueSky or Mastodon). This is a link to a starter pack of organizations that are currently on BlueSky.
